Shedding Light on the Convention of States, a Cult or a Remedy

Over considerable time, I have scoured the internet for helpful and scholarly information regarding the Art V Convention of States (COS) movement, it's strengths and weaknesses. Importantly, such a convention is a lot more complex and challenging than most us fully understand. After my lengthy research effort, I am sharing with you this youtube presentation by the John Birch Society with the hope that the viewer will temporarily jettison his bias and commit to carefully listening, learning and weighing--to think outside any rigidly pre-conceived viewpoints on the subject. This video presentation is the best of its kind I've seen: it is straightforward, cogent, scholarly, and refreshingly understandable. Extremely important to view and listen. Having consulted a number of other sober and respectable Constitutional sources, I have carefully concluded that the COS Project, though in most cases very well-intentioned, is flawed, misguided and, yes, perilous. And though a hardened COS true believer may opt to merely ridicule this excellent presentation, such dismissiveness will serve no constructive purpose at all. The facts speak for themselves. Note: Desperate for remedies, I too was a COS supporter at the beginning, that is until my curiosity got the best of me, at which point I stepped outside the box to conduct my own exploration. So, permit this video to be the first step in your own unbiased exploration. By the way, and as I have frequently maintained, solutions to our constitutional problems today are entirely in OUR hands, and, fortunately, the Constitution already provides us the tools to restore constitutional order. As the video nicely validated, we must rely upon Art VI Clause 2 and 3, and our State leaders must, with our encouragement and insistence, exert their 10th Amendment authority to nullify ALL unconstitutional federal laws/rulings/regulations/directives. In short, if we and our States but insist that our federal representatives faithfully adhere to their Oath of Office, constitutional order and, yes, sanity, could be quickly restored. Anyway, if interested in this subject please take a break, grab your laptop, head out on the deck and quietly view this extremely well-done 58-min video. You won't regret it. Let me know what you thought of the content and whether or not it was as educational an experience for you as it was for me.
